Well that’s good news, though it does limit the cars buying audience, a nice DSG with flappy paddles couldn’t hurt surely!

I’d be content with a standard automatic. I bet they’d move a lot more units if they offered different transmission types.

Yeah these modern slush boxes are pretty impressive, I am always amzed by how good the one is on my brothers Renegade TH when I drive it, though some people complain about it, I never notice it’s actually there doing anything unless I’ve got my foot down hard!

A DSG would better I would think though in a car like this, about 7 speeds and of the wet clutch variety.

MY funniest comments were always overshadowed by the “serious experience” comments, or they were just glossed over.

To be honest, in my experience it’s 10% wit and 90% timing. If you can get something reasonably clever/funny in right after a post hits, that’s your best chance. The 4 CsOTD I’ve gotten probably aren’t even 4 of the best comments I’ve ever made, they were just in the right place at the right time.

Guess they don’t plan on selling that many then. Hate to say it but they’ll sell better if an automatic is available.

I think so too. The Type R is an exclusive model, so it probably won’t matter, but an auto Si would be fantastic.

I got COTD a couple of times a while back for comments that I didn’t think were all that special.

Yet my far more genius comments went overlooked.

Ford has no trouble selling (sold out!!??) the Focus RS even with $5000+ markup

Honda will do just fine

And just when I thought a little decency in the world had been shed, it turned out to still be there :D

I don’t remember the specs for the Type-R, but I feel like it and the RS are not in the same class.
